Would you mend my ******

Love that Suzan! I have to hem my daughter's school uniform skirt and I'm sweating just thinking about it! I'd rather do paper piecing and Y seams. Blindfolded! Okay you chickens, send me hemming vibes. I need you!

I am one of those people that can quilt but I can't sew or mend. You should see some of my attempts. I've tacked my husbands pockets backwards twice. I've sewn rips together that looked like he has a hair lip on his thigh and I had even sewn them thinking I had already turned the pants inside out. That wouldn't been as bad if I did not use varigated pink/purple thread. My looks at my quilts and can't understand me. I can't even sew a lining together for a plastic canvas gift box. Even sewing by hand did not make the lining fit any better.

Truly, I HATE mending, although I love to sew (clothes and quilts). Mending and sewing are 2 different things. My mother is old enough to remember darning socks if they got a hole in them :shock: She still has her darning "egg".
BTW, I love the puppy in the high chair in your avatar.

My favorite quote "I thought if I had it custom made it would be cheaper" ha ha.. ONLY if yo make it yourself
